So good. So so good!! This was our fourth FanExpo and our sixth “ComicCon” in total. Did not disappoint. Other than having to activate the passes and then “tap out” to leave (which is just unnecessary data collection) and the food selection, the actual event itself was amazing.
Me and my second tallest have made it a tradition to go (Emerald City ComicCon in TWO WEEKS!!) and is a top highlight every year. We literally look forward (and start the countdown) to the next one starting on the drive home :) The Cosplay, the fandom, and most importantly all of the AMAZING art is just, just, just… so good.
Being surrounded by people that share the same interest, where there is acceptance and celebration, is very comforting and fulfilling.
Arcane is one of our favourite shows of all time. Several years ago (coinciding with Season 1) there was a lot of Jinx cosplay. The last couple of years though, it faded a bit. Season two was released a few months ago and so we were looking forward to a resurgence and were not disappointed. Tons of Jinx cosplay and a much much higher rate of Vi and also Caitlyn. It was great seeing groups of two or three friends going together.
Also, Andy Serkis’ interview and Q&A? Awesome!
Here are a smattering of pics. Note that the quality is not of the best as the lens I was waiting for didn’t come through in time (for reference).
Hopefully ECCC pics will be better…
